Path of Exile’s open beta is now live, get in on the ground floor of this great ARPG

Do it! DO IT NOW

Path of Exile is New Zealand’s answer to Diablo — a free-to-play online ARPG built from the ground-up by hardcore Diablo fans who just wanted to make the perfect monster-killing loot machine. And as of right now, the open beta has kicked off and you can get in on the ground floor.

As of right now, their patching servers are under extreme load as every man and his dog tries to update the game, so please be patient and hit up the official site to log in and download your client.

If you’re a previous Path of Exile player, please note that all your characters have been reset back to level 1. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the full patch notes, which can be found here.

Been playing it for about an hour now, seems fun, currently getting better latency to the US server than the SG server (I can also understand more of the chat lol, damn my only speaking English). I’m not sure it’s really the game for me, but I’ll give it a decent shot.

As Tim mentioned their servers are getting hit pretty hard. We will have a mirror up for the open beta in the next 6-24 hours. It really is that unpredictable at the moment when it comes to download speed.
